r/NativePlantGardening on Reddit: What should I plant in Michigan?
January 18, 2024 -
Hey y’all! I have a large yard with full sun, very sandy poor soil, and a lawn that is basically weeds.
I have been planting low maintenance perennials like day lilies, irises, and hyacinths. I planted a bunch of dune grass last fall that is sprouting now and I hope takes off.
I would love to plant more perennials that do well with poor soil and low maintenance as well as some ground cover that mows decently. What would you plant and where would you get them? Sky’s the limit at this point. Thanks in advance guys!
